New everything

Well, we have a new house, a new job and a new school.  It's only fitting that Mary try something new for extra curricular activities.  She's been saying she wants to start gymnastics for quite a while, but she changed her mind and decided to go for dance again.  There's a studio right down the street from us that is holding an open house this week and today, we went to check it out.  The 3-4 yr old program encompasses ballet, tap and acrobatics (tumbling).  Perfect!  She is so excited about tap.  Luckily, the studio also has a boutique and so we went ahead and got her fitted for shoes.  Of course, since I didn't plan ahead, all her ballet items are in the shipment coming on the slow boat and won't arrive until late September (well after class starts), so Mary happily picked out a new leotard, some tights, and a new pair of ballet shoes too.  Class starts right after Labor Day weekend.  And now, I listen to the "rat-tat-tat" of tiny shoes in the playroom over head....

She looks so sweet! I'm glad you are settling in. Have you been overwhelmed by the grocery store options yet?

Mary looks beautiful. We are looking forward to more videos on her dancing. Hopefully we will be able to watch one of her lessons when we visit.
